Masters of the Universe is back in the spotlight, reigniting nostalgia among longtime fans while introducing a new generation to the legendary battle between He‑Man and Skeletor.

The long awaited Masters of the Universe revival arrived with dazzling spectacle, nostalgic energy, a dash of comedy and a cast determined to breathe new life into Eternia.

Masters

The release of the highly anticipated 2026 film has sparked renewed interest in Eternia’s heroes and villains, reminding audiences of the franchise’s enduring themes of courage, friendship, and standing up for what is right.

Masters of the Universe opened in cinemas across South Africa earlier this month.

Battle cat

Collectors will appreciate the Chronicles Creature Battle Cat (R529.99), a 20cm figure with deluxe articulation, removable armour, and realistic eye effects, designed to fit Chronicles figures on its back.
